How do we create light? When we love we radiate light. Now we know that everything is alive with light. What we used to think of as empty space is alive with zero point energy. Sub atomic particles swoop in and out of this energy. According to my guide Hethball, and according to mysticism in general, not only is everything in the universe made of energy but really everything is made of something that cannot be measured at all. I call it love. Love creates energy and then matter comes out of energy. The strings of the heart are the strings of string theory.

It is in the search for and the finding of these ideas that I have found my inspiration. I have found a subject for my paintings and I have found channeling.

When we write, when we paint, what is the one unique thing that we have to give that no one else has? It is our self. What my self gives is painting and channeling. Hethball said that we are one unit of the universe. Let anyone tell you that one unit is small; let me tell you how great you are to be a unit of everything that is.

Herein are selections from my book Creating Light, How to Illuminate Your Life. Equally here are images of my paintings. The majority are from the series I call The Hubble Series. I used images from the Hubble telescope together with images of people which I merged with nebulae and other cosmic images so as to exemplify the greatness and beauty of being in this universe.
